Abstract

Since the completion of the Three Gorges Dam in 2003, its flood discharge and energy dissipation structures have withstood many flood tests. To further evaluate and summarize the design and actual performance of these structures, the discharge capacity of the Three Gorges Project was comprehensively assessed during the first regular dam safety inspection. The flow capacity of the power station units was verified using data from the Huanglingmiao Hydrological Station. The measured flow data from the power station indicate that the turbine output curve accurately reflects the actual flow rates of the left bank, right bank, and underground power stations. The actual discharge capacities of deep holes and surface holes were also evaluated and compared with their respective design values and model test results. The comparison reveals that the measured discharge capacity of deep holes matches the design value, while the measured discharge capacity of surface holes is slightly higher than the design value. However, the combined discharge capacity of deep holes and surface holes is basically consistent with the design value.

Abstract
 为进一步利用天然河流实测资料检验垂线流速分布的指数与对数规律,采用多普勒剖面流速仪在黄陵庙水文断面中实测的不同垂线与不同流量情况下的瞬时流速资料,计算了时均流速的垂线分布,并与指数和对数流速分布公式计算的结果进行了比较分析。结果表明,黄陵庙水文断面不同垂线水流的时均流速分布符合对数与指数分布规律。然而,在不同水流与边界条件下,其指数公式中的指数大小与对数公式中的有关参数有所不同。通过对黄陵庙水文断面垂线流速分布特性的研究,丰富了对天然河流垂线流速分布规律的认识。

To further verify exponential and logarithmic velocity formulas by using observed data of natural river, the measured time averge velocity data observed by ADCP were calculated on the vertical lines at the Huanglingmiao hydrologic section, and compared with the results obtained from exponential and logarithmic velocity formulas. The results indicated that different vertical time - averaged velocity distributions accord with the laws of exponential and logarithmic velocity formulas. However, under the different conditions of flow and boundary, exponent values in the exponential formula and related parameters in the logarithmic formula are different. The study of vertical velocity distribution at the Huanglingmiao hydrologic section deepens the recognition of vertical velocity distribution in natural river.
